Get To Know Me
In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?
I have experience being a human, navigating suffering and joy. I benefitted from therapy as a teenager and beyond and know how healing it has been for me. I wish to offer connection for others in this space. As a therapist my tool is my self, drawing from my experiences and my education.

Education
Wittenberg University, Bachelor of Arts, Psychology, 2012
Work HistoryI am currently earning my Master’s degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy from Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Counseling and Education. I have earned certification in Activity Coordination when supporting individuals with Alzheimer’s and their families, and in the behavioral therapy space, I became a Board Certified assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA). I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Wittenberg University. Prior to starting my Masters degree I was a behavioral therapist for 8 years. In this role, I supported families and their children as they navigated developmental disability diagnosis while living a values based life. I have experience in providing recreational therapy to individuals with Alzheimer's and their family members while holding space for grief and uncertainty. I’ve also worked as a teacher in an emotional growth classroom, providing support to adolescents in individual and group settings. I integrate all of my therapeutic experiences to bring a broad understanding of humans and the relationships that shape their lives.
